If the house can NOT build itself what are the chances that life can build itself? What is easier to create house or life? Don't you think that before life was created INTELLIGENCE had to exist? Let's call it "Great Intelligence". If "Great Intelligence" decided to create something what do you think would be the purpose of such creation? Don't you think that all life is by design? Imagine that you ARE the Great Intelligence and there is NOTHING around you. There is NOTHING to do. What would be the reason for the creation of life? Do you think that "Great Intelligence" is stupid to create something without a purpose? http://www.escrew.com/showthread.php?threadid=318
This question is related to the question what came first, the chicken or the egg? The answer is - neither. The First was Intellect, who developed Itself and then designed Life. Intellect is the only thing in the Universe that truly develops ITSELF. Examine how has your own intellect has developed. Note that Intellect is not a material thing - it is an ability to process information and draw conclusions. Scientifically speaking, the probability of Intellect developing Itself is INFINITE number of times GREATER than the probability of an atom (or anything material, including life and the Universe) making itself.
Life did develop by itself. I did after billions of years on planet Earth, without the use of a 'Great Intelligence'. It's called 'brain'.

Not intellect 'developing itself'. Has your intellect decided it doesn't want to develop itself?

I have also read THE FREEDOM OF CHOICE by Thomas Chalko... Unfortunately, as much as we would like to, no one will be able to go beyond the moment of creation and see what WAS; if anything. I agree with his premise that intelligence had to exist before the house could be built, but the question arises and begs to be asked: how did consciousness emerge ? From necessity ? Nothingness just reckonized itself and proceeded from there ? I'm not quite sure how to answer the question but I would really like to believe physical life has a purpose and that a creational entity is behind the creation of our universe... but until then, I will simply marvel at the fact that I have consciousness and exist. Alcohol and thinking is a dangerous mix...
The riddle hello! Khayam, the Iranian wise poet has something as follows: Neither you nor I know the mystries of the beginning., This riddle can not be solved neither by you nor by me, Behind the scene, they are talking of you and me, And when the curtain falls, there will be no you and me. I wish I could get his message across better.Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!

<<Imagine that you ARE the Great Intelligence and there is NOTHING around you. There is NOTHING to do. What would be the reason for the creation of life?>> Give freewill and watch !!
Intellgent design is nothing but anthropomorphisation - understandable, but intellectually vacuous. It rests on the presumption that you can interpret the will of a designer that you've never met. That might work from human to human, but from human to X, the only answer is: Indeterminant. Actually, IMO there is little more contemptuous behavior in regards to the concept of god than to pretend you can understand what it's thinking or what its intent might be. In fact, to claim the existence of god is to abandon the good sense a theist would claim he gave them. The very definition of the concept renders it beyond confirmation.
